HENKEL CORP.: Automotive Hot Melt

This company’s automotive group has introduced TECHNOMELT XPO 1050, a polyolefin-based hot melt that can reportedly bond a variety of interior-related substrates without the need for pretreatment of the plastic surface. Used in the development of a number of interiors applications, including door panels, rear package trays, pillar trims and instrument panels, the hot melt is applied through a roll coating process, requiring less adhesive than typical sprayable adhesives while eliminating as much as 25% overspray waste.
